The Floating Knife story had me laughing out loud.

I'm actually not a big listener of podcasts but I definitely think I'm going to catch the next episode of this when you put it up. Awesome stuff man, I dig the old stories.

[vespertillio]

Downloading it now. Believe it or not this will be the first time I have ever listened to a 'podcast' lol. It better be good Rob!!

[Flack]

Thanks for checking it out, guys! So far I have a couple of votes for "more arcade stories" and one vote for "D&D stories" so it sounds like I have material lined up for at least two more episodes!

[Coldguy]

Not that bad, good quality and funny stories, I approve. Added to Sage feed...

Thanks, man. If you have any instructions or anything related to adding this to a feed of any kind, let me know and I will post them to make it easier for other listeners. I am kind of new to the RSS feed/podcast game.

Good and all, But ALL podcasts I listen to have at least 2 people on the podcast. Get some friends and ask them to come on your show, Then you discuss topics about games. This is a good podcast. But ad some guest and then it will be awesome. But good podcast. Keep it up!

[Trevelyan]

Dreamcast has a good point, I think it would make an excellent addition if there were two of you of a similar computing ilk who could feed off one another. Thinking of how people approached computers back in the day, I'll look into cloning another you using Vista,

LOVED it Flack! I have no problem with the one man show format, some of my personal favs use that format, I enjoy the Retrobits podcast as well as Retro Gaming Radio. One thing, you have a good sounding voice, I mean that seriously and believe me that IS important. For example on another Podcast that will remain nameless they have a group of speakers, one in particular, well let's just say if you cast a movie about geeks in the 80's and someone was intentionally attempting to "sound" geeky, well THAT is what the guy sounds like, when he is excited it's 100X worse, turns me right off and if it were not for the rest of the cast I would never listen!

I definitely like your format of stories regarding retro systems/games, it's fun to hear another person who felt the same about early gaming and computing platforms, the reactions you and friends and family members had, it brings back lot's of great memories, for me the description of those experiences is great fun, the more details the better please!

Good pilot show I think, looking forward to adding this to my lists of shows and hoping many more are to come, THANKS!

Just d/l'ed it to listen to at work tonight. I need quality podcasts to hold me over between Retronauts & RetroForce GO!

Cant wait to hear it Flack!

[boatofcar]

Great work Flack! I like the one person format just fine. Like OldSchoolGamer said, you have a great voice, and that goes a long way in the world of podcasting. I liked hearing about the Dancing Demon--I looked it up on youtube right after I finished listening!

[Flack]

Corrected an error in the RSS feed.

Let me know what you would like to hear in episode 106!

[Berserker]

I think it'd be cool if you could get Jeff on for an episode at some point, as he seems to make his way into a lot of these stories to one degree or another.

Also I really dug the D&D episode. Regardless of the few bad comments you apparently received, I say don't be afraid to go off-theme again if it means good stories. The way I look at it, even though things like D&D and old-school technology may not be directly related, they kind of lend themselves to one another naturally, as for kids growing up around that time that's what made up our "world" -- computers, video games, D&D, retro toy/cartoon series, whatever.

Good stuff, keep it coming!

Always love hearing C64 related stuff...will put this into my podcast playlist for driving music.

I did want to mention (although I doubt there's anything you can do about it...I'm probably the cause of the problem), but I can't seem to get iTunes to DL any shows. I used a link I found on the site, and added it properly, but it just gives me an exclamation point when it looks for episodes...any ideas?

I probably should change podcast aggregators, but since I listen to everything on my iPod in my car, I'd like to try and keep it all in the family so to speak...

When I switched back from Feedburner to Wordpress's internal RSS feed, I think I broke my iTunes link. I am trying hard to get that working because I know how many iPod/iTunes listeners I have/had. I will keep trying to fix it!

[OldSchoolGamer]

Great show as always FLACK, though, were there some audio issues? I had some breakup.......

Anyway though, thanks for your efforts, I love the show!

Hey Scooter, just wanted to let you know a couple of things.

#1, I installed "Podcasting", a Wordpress Plug-In. The new feed (http://www.robohara.com/?feed=podcast) should now be iTunes-friendly/compliant.

#2, I signed up for an iTunes account this morning and submitted the podcast to iTunes, so I am just waiting to hear back on that.

Let me know if #1 makes things any simpler for you.

(I should mention #3 -- I had to change all the filenames. Part of the reason iTunes was choking on the files is apparently because I had spaces and apostrophes in the file names.)

[Flack]

First post updated -- episode 108 is live!

The iTunes link is still borked. After multiple attempts to contact Apple, it seems the only way to fix the problem is to add it as a new podcast. I'll work on that today. In the meantime, I updated the RSS feed in the main post, which links directly to the podcast feed.

You deserved it Flack, I reviewed your podbast here
